A 440-pound heart from a blue whale, the largest-known animal to ever exist. It was so big, it had to be doused in 1,000+ gallons of formaldehyde before being plastinated by a team at Royal Ontario Museum. More: www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/pains...

Something I’m delighted about:

Most #ConservationJobs ads I see these days include salary range. Many are WFH or hybrid; some describe benefits; a few compensate interviewees for time.

Advocacy works! #ShowTheSalary 👏

Next up: Start asking about a 4-day work week.

In case you had any doubt, the near perfect fit of the quadratic trendline makes it clear: global sea surface temperatures are accelerating.

The current rate of warming is about 0.32°C/decade, which comes out to somewhere around 275 million Hiroshima bombs worth of ocean heating in 2025.
